Changes in wave dynamics at the south-eastern coast of the Baltic Proper during 1993-2008
Using data gathered by visual wave observations at three Lithuanian coastal observation sites during 1993-2008, we make an attempt to relate the recent changes in the intensity of coastal processes on the Lithuanian coast to changes in the local wave regime. There exist considerable interannual vari...

The directional distribution of wave approach directions has become considerably narrower since about 2002.
